Review: If you’ve seen my other reviews, it’s no secret I really enjoy Amanda Lovelace’s work, and this is no exception! Her concepts and themes before going into each collection of poems is always so unique to me and so intriguing. I love seeing how she chooses to twist classic stereotypes and upgrades them so that there is gender equality.
THE ART! I love that there’s some color in this book! The art was also more detailed, yet keeping that minimalist quality about them. It was truly gorgeous and definitely something I haven’t seen in her previous books.
Everything about this book is stunning and with it being such a quick read, there’s no reason not to pick up a copy!
